Make that Thursday 12th.

Coming tomorrow! Meanwhile, there's a new blog up on his website which might answer a couple of questions you've asked in this thread.

Indeed the email wrote among others:

"Hello from PledgeMusic,


Team Pledge are delighted to inform you that Chris Catalyst: Life Is Often Brilliant has reached its goal!

If you pledged via a credit card, we’ve just charged your card." etc..

Just pledged. Really like the song he posted.

update... listening party on Thursday at 8 pm. I'm assuming that is Heartland Standard Time.

AccessPass Update 01 February, 2017
Life Is Often Brilliant - Listening Party - TOMORROW (Thurs 2nd Feb) at 8pm

Hey all,

My album is ready and I think you’re going to like it. I hope so, at least.

I’ll upload it to the ‘Updates’ section as usual, so you can download it and listen, at 8pm TOMORROW NIGHT.

To join in, talk up on Twitter about using the hashtag #LifeIsOftenBrilliant – as that’s the message that I want to get across from this record. No matter how bad things can be, life really can be great, and it’s a message worth sending out.

You can then search what other people are saying and join in with each other using the hashtag.

If you’re not on Twitter, you can join in on the Eureka Machines ‘Champions And Underdogs’ page here:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/eurekamachines/

Where me and a bunch of other people will be listening, and I’ll share some stories about the songs and the recording process and so on.

Have a drink – or whatever it is that helps you relax – ready. This is a party, a celebration of life and friendship and music and all the things that add colour to our day.

And remember, #LifeIsOftenBrilliant .

Please share this around to any of your like-minded pals who maybe haven’t got around to pledging yet. This is one of the best parts of the whole process – the internet is a truly wonderful thing sometimes – we get to share an experience collectively through the airwaves or whatever it is that makes the internet work.

See you there, I am excited to share this album, which I am so proud of, with you all.
Chris X

PS FLACS will go online at the end of the campaign, for those who require that kind of thing. Hope that’s cool.

PPS I’ve put a load more blogs online from the past few months which show perhaps where my head was at during the finishing stages of the album. Go see – http://www.chriscatalyst.com/category/blog/

PPPS If you are wanting to order shirts or hats, now is the time to do it, as the order is going in on Friday!!

Tonight's the night! Hope everyone likes the album.

Unfortunately, I couldn't listen to it on Thursday, but I've done so in the meantime.

I do like it ... ... especially the songs that seem to me to have come last ... ...

Distance Over Time was written for the Sisters ?
That is a very good song, i wonder why reject it

I read somewhere it was a little too close to home for Von.

Because

The Pledge is closing soon... if anyone wants a CD, now would be a good time as they've arrived and will be sent out more or less straight away!

Hope people are enjoying it, did any of you go to the Brudenell gig?

Brudenell and The Parish 👍

Received the CD yesterday ... the booklet is absolutely lovely ... ...

Got mine

Mine's here too.
Nice package

Mine arrived too.

Must admit I never heard cod liver oil mentioned in a song before.
